Chapter 65

All the guests stopped talking and fixed their gazes on the staircase on one side of the hall.

The melodious violin and piano music played again, and all the lights were consciously focused on the entrance of the staircase.

Just as everyone thought a beautiful noble girl would appear,

to their surprise, the first thing to appear at the staircase was a pair of riding boots!

Riding boots, riding breeches, and a knight's outfit!

In her hand was a slender, elegant sword, a ceremonial sword used by the nobility!

The long-awaited noble lady, who finally appeared, was dressed as a knight, which was unexpected by everyone.

"There are rumors that Miss Selina is obsessed with riding and fencing. Judging by her outfit today, it seems to be true!"

"I also heard that although this lady is notoriously rebellious, she is not only favored by Sir Youde but also beloved by the elderly. Even the Queen is fond of her and intends to have Prince Charles marry her!"

"Then isn't Miss Selina the future princess?"

"Who says not!"

The whispers of the guests gave Wang Zhong a preliminary impression of this noble lady.

Rebellious and capricious, fond of fencing and horseback riding, deeply loved by Sir Youde and the Queen, and possibly the future princess.

Putting aside her personality and background, Selina was also a rare beauty!

Her large, azure eyes, a straight and high nose, and a small, cherry mouth. Her skin was not coarse like that of Westerners but was very delicate and fair, fitting the aesthetic standards of Easterners. Perhaps due to her love for horseback riding and fencing, Catherine's figure was very well-proportioned, almost in the golden ratio. Due to her genes, her chest was not inferior to Mary's, even at a young age.

Thinking of her chest, Wang Zhong subconsciously glanced in Mary's direction.

Mary happened to be looking at him, as if she knew Wang Zhong's dirty thoughts, and glared at him with hatred.

William Brown looked at Mary with a bit of infatuation. Despite her bold and wild attire, her personality was surprisingly conservative. William Brown had tried to embrace Mary's waist a few times, but she had always refused without hesitation.

Originally just out for a casual fling, William Brown now had a rare moment of seriousness.

A good girl, no one dislikes. Whether Eastern or Western men.

William Brown realized he had fallen for her!

A famous playboy and bachelor among the British nobility actually had the urge to get married!

However, William Brown was now enveloped by a feeling of jealousy. From the start of the party, Mary's gaze had never left the man named Wang Zhong!

As if that man was a huge human magnet!

Mary didn't notice the change in the man beside her. Her entire attention was drawn to Wang Zhong, whose movements were so graceful, and whose speech was so confident.

Neither Sir Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong, nor Li Chao Ren, the richest man, could make him bend.

Compared to him, other people of the same age seemed like children!

Mary realized she had fallen, completely conquered by Wang Zhong's charm!

If she had met him first, she would be the one standing by his side today!

Mary looked at Rulan with a hint of jealousy.

"Happy birthday, Miss Selina! This is Uncle George's gift. I hope you like it!"

Police Chief George was the first to present his gift, showing how close he was to Sir Youde.

Wang Zhong secretly mocked, why do Westerners have so few names? It's either William or George, I really worry about their intelligence!

If George knew, he would definitely cry out in injustice. It's not that Westerners can't come up with names; it's the author's intelligence that is truly worrying!

George's gift was a sapphire necklace. The sapphire was cut and set with precious metals like gold and silver. The craftsmanship and design clearly indicated it was a family heirloom of the nobility.

"Thank you, Uncle George! I love it!"

Selina smiled and said excitedly, proving the saying that women have no resistance to jewels!

"Miss Selina, I represent the Brown family in wishing you a happy birthday!"

William Brown was the second to present his gift. This showed that the Brown family held a high status among the British nobility. William Brown's gift was an ancient noble sword. The sword was inlaid with various gems, and the hilt was made of pure gold. Regardless of its historical value, the gems and gold alone made it a priceless treasure.

"Thank you, I love it!"

Miss Selina smiled and expressed her gratitude. Sir Youde also nodded in thanks.

William Brown glanced at Wang Zhong in a show of defiance, making Wang Zhong feel inexplicably and innocently wronged.

Fortunately, this was just a small interlude at the party. One by one, British nobles presented their gifts and blessings, mostly jewelry and gems.

After the British nobles finished giving their gifts, the Chinese guests also presented theirs.

Li Chao Ren gave Miss Selina an oil painting, which seemed to be a work by a foreign master. Both Sir Youde and Miss Selina liked it very much.

Ship tycoon Pao Yu-kang gave a large Tanzanite gemstone, the size of an egg. Although Tanzanite is somewhat similar to rubies and sapphires, its value is much lower. The value of Tanzanite increased significantly only after the release of "Titanic," where the "Heart of the Ocean" worn by the female lead was a Tanzanite.

Wang Zhong thought to himself, "Should I stock up on some? I can sell them for a huge profit after the big ship sinks!"

Yes, definitely!

Wang Zhong quickly made up his mind, smiling as he watched the noble ladies at the ball, thinking to himself:

Just wait!

I'll make a fortune from you!

When the big ship sinks and you see the charm of the Heart of the Ocean, these Tanzanites you look down on will skyrocket in value!

And I will take advantage of the opportunity to make a huge profit, squeezing every last penny out of your pockets!

Wang Zhong thought with a bit of mischief, "If you don't like it, bite me? I'm reborn!"

Tyrant Kwok Bing-lin gave a set of pure gold and gemstone-encrusted makeup box, which, by its style, was clearly a luxury item from the Russian nobility.

After the October Revolution, many Russian nobles fled, and many of their collections appeared on auction markets.

...

Wang Zhong watched as one by one, people presented their gifts. Seeing Miss Selina's riding boots and breeches, he suddenly had an idea.

He leaned over to Li Chao Ren and whispered to him for a while.

Li Chao Ren nodded heavily, his eyes showing appreciation.

"Young man, advertising during a banquet, you're the first in Hong Kong. Your mind is sharp!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Wang Zhong said modestly.

"I still have a long way to go!"

Li Chao Ren and the others thought Wang Zhong was being humble, but Wang Zhong knew he really had a long way to go. Compared to professionals in the future, his methods were like those of a primary school student compared to a Ph.D.!

After Old Huang left the banquet for a while, he returned and gave Li Chao Ren and Wang Zhong a confirming nod.

"Mr. Wang Zhong and Ms. Rulan present Miss Selina with a pure-blooded Ross horse, wishing her a happy birthday!"

The announcer loudly read out, and Miss Selina, who had been smiling formally, showed a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.

"Pure-blooded Ross horse, I've never heard of it!"

Miss Selina looked at the announcer with some confusion. On the racetrack, pure-blooded horses were priceless, but she had never heard of a Ross horse.

"Miss Selina, the Ross horse comes from the southern hemisphere, Australia. Ross is the name of a ranch. Their family has been providing pure-blooded horses to the Australian nobility for generations. With the decline of the Australian nobility, the pure-blooded Ross horse also disappeared from people's memory. By chance, I discovered this pure-blooded horse and brought it to Hong Kong. The Ross horse has excellent endurance and explosive power, making it one of the best racehorses in the world!"

Wang Zhong stepped out of the crowd and introduced the horse to everyone. By giving Miss Selina a pure-blooded Ross horse, Wang Zhong not only catered to her interests but also wanted to introduce the Ross horse to everyone at this occasion.

To add interest, Wang Zhong used a dramatic storytelling technique, repackaging the story of the Hai Ma Long foal from Qinghai Lake, but setting it in Australia!

"This story is so beautiful, can I try it?"

Selina's eyes were a bit red, and she asked with anticipation and excitement.

"Of course! The Ross horse is outside!"

Wang Zhong bowed gracefully.

"Selina, it's party time now!"

Sir Youde looked at Selina with some displeasure.

"Daddy, I can't wait to see it!"

Selina was not afraid of Sir Youde and said with a bit of a pout.

Selina was young and inexperienced, but everyone in the room was a seasoned businessman. Wang Zhong's intentions were instantly seen through, and some people even looked at him with disdain, as if they were ashamed to be in his company!

Wang Zhong pretended not to notice and muttered in a low voice.

"I just inserted an ad, what are you going to do, bite me?"

Li Chao Ren looked at Wang Zhong, who was drawing so much hatred, with a helpless expression.

This young man is good in every way, except for his temper!

But then again, how many martial artists have a good temper? If Wang Zhong had a good temper, he wouldn't have killed Choi Jung-won, exhausted Choi Jung-tae, and even challenged the grandmaster Kim Jia Pan!

Those disdainful rich businessmen then remembered that Wang Zhong was not just a feng shui master but also a martial arts grandmaster and the second-largest shareholder of HSBC!

To challenge such a man who is not short of money and can fight would be asking for trouble!

Their faces turned pale, and they put on a smile that was more painful than crying, stumbling back into the crowd!

Wang Zhong watched their clumsy and comical performance, sneered, and muttered to himself, "What a bunch of nonsense!"
